This is helpful for those who don't want to let third-party apps have access to their financial accounts - or those who prefer manual logging.Д«ut if you do want to connect your savings account and checking account, you can. You Need a BudgetВ (YNAB) does this but also gives users the option to manually add transactions to avoid linking bank accounts. Many personal finance budgeting apps allow you to link bank accounts so the app can track where your money is going.

Mint also offers a space to set goals - like buying a home, paying off debt, or anything else you'd like - but it's on the desktop version, not the app. You can add 'savings' as a category and then mark that transfer in your transactions accordingly. While not a saving-specific app, you can use Mint for this, too. But if I don't go back to the vet this month, I can adjust that budget to $0. If I took my dog to the vet last month, I can add that category to my budget. I also like that I can change my budget based on my spending. You can compare months, too, if you'd like. It details patterns and shows you graphs by category (or at a glance) on where your money goes. As Mint learns more about you and your spending habits, you'll be able to see where your money goes each month.

Since I've been using Mint for years, I can see my spending over time. This is available in YNAB, but that comes with an additional cost. You can split your transactions to put the correct amount into each category. Say you get some of your groceries at Target, but you also pick up home supplies and medicine there, too. I also love that I can split spending transactions. Still, I love that I can recategorize transactions that auto-categorize into something completely wrong. The more I use Mint, the more the money management app learns about me. Now I use it for budgeting, making sure I'm paying bills on time, and checking my credit score every week - a newer feature but one I couldn't find in any other app I tried out. It started out as a way to track my spending by syncing up with my banks, credit cards, savings, and loan accounts. This free budgeting app has gotten me out of debt, helped me budget for a computer, and gotten me to set financial goals (like buy a new car).

Full disclosure: I've been a loyal Mint user for nearly a decade.
